FytRobert, First let me address a comment you made "in my post 127532 I was seeking reasons for Chrisrans to attend Sunday Services and not reasons for Christans NOT To attend Sunday Services" I really thought I had given you the most urgent reason to attend and that is being under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Next lets talk about the two questions. One does not have to be a Bible scholar in order to answer these two questions. Let me repharse them for you. 1. Are you saved and do you have any assurance in your salvation ? 2.If God ask you why He should let you into Heaven what would your answer be? Now to what I meant by having the good manners to answer the questions ask of you. Many times when tring to answer a question for another person one needs a little more information to be able to properly respond to the question. This is especially true in a forum such as this where none of real knows any of the others. So when someone is tring to help you and tring to figure out the best way to go about it and they simply ask for a little more info. with which to better sever you then it is only poliet ot answer that question as best as you can. Belive me there was no offense meant in the comment at all. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

23 | How do overcome your fear? | Phil 4:6 | tgc | 128021 | ||
Godchaser1, You have been given some excellent answers thus far, but let me add this. The command fear not is given well over 100 times within scripture. For something to be repeated this many times God has to feel that it is a very important topic and wishes to give us His assurence. As has already been said we over come fear by beliving God that is taking God at His word. You see that is the foundation of the whole Christan faith that we belive God. We belive Him for our salvation and base our eternal destiny on this belief. So why don't we belive Him for His guidence through this life. You see overcoming fear has nothing to do with positively confessing scripture or anything elese it is all about getting into God's living Word and having a close personal relationship with Him so that through HIm and His Holy Spirit we can believe His word and through that overcome this world and all it throws at us. In short our whole relationship and fellowship with Christ is based on us taking Him at His word. As DBR has said perfect love cast out all fear and God has that perfect love for us just look to the cross for the evidence He kept His word then and will now we just have to learn to belive it. Hope this helps. In The Love Of Christ,tgc |

New Creature, I think our wise brother Tim Moran has spoken well in that we can discuss this but with the understanding over all scripture is silent on the actual order of these events. Now on to answer your questions. The question you listed as 2. In my opion regeneration comes after salvation and therefore there is no contradiction at all. 3. Leaarus had to have heard the command from his Lord to rise from the dead. Then he obeyed the command come forth. So in this case I would say that the dead did hear the command of his Lord. 4. I did not relize that I had mixed faith and regeneration. What I said is that salvation comes through grace by faith. My understanding would be grace and faith are the agents of salvation. That is to say regeneration takes place after salvation. 5. Lazarus heard the call to come forth from the dead and responed to that call. Although his response was through the power of his Lord Jesus Christ. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

FytRobert, CDBJ has been most through in his post to you. He has been very straight forward and clear answering each query posed to him. You would do well to study in-depth what has been offered as well as having the good manners to answer the 2 questions posted to you. With that said I will offer an answer to your question. First let look to Hebrews 10:24-26 from the NKJV. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] the manner of some, but exhorting [one another,] and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. In these two verses the writer gives us a command from God not to try to go it alone but to assemble together so as to stir up love between one another also for the exhorting of one another or the building up of each other. The next place we need to go is 1 Cor.12:7-15 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit [of all:] 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another [different] kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many. Paul goes in to along discussion about the gifts of the Holy Spirit to each believer and the reason for the gifts that is to build up the Church the gifts are to be used together so that the whole body can function. IN this line of thought you need the church and the church needs you because if you are a born again child of the King you have gifts that the body needs to carry out its work. The next text I would like to direct you to is 1 Tim. 3:1-13 from the NKJV (NKJV) 1 Timothy 3:1 This [is] a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having [his] children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the [same] condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise deacons [must be] reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being [found] blameless. 11 Likewise [their] wives [must be] reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and their own houses well. 13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. In this passage we see the leadership of the church being established for when God gives a command He tells us how to carry it out and this verse lays out the leadership of the church the passage from 1 Cor. the reason for the believers to meet together for the carrying out of God plan for the Church. The Hebrews passages just for clarification. Another place we could go with this is Titus starting in chapter 1:5 and reading through 2:10 I will not post that here as it just further backs up the 1 Timothy passage. So yes I one is to follow the Bible he or she should be regularly meeting together with other believers for worship, teaching , fellowship, among other activities. As a born again child of the King I find it hard for a person who has really submitted themselves to the Lordship of Jesus not to want to meet with other believers. Please look to The Word of God for your answers and you will find God never created us to be lone rangers but to operate as family in service to out Heavenly Father from who all blessings come. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

Emmaus and Angel, I thank you both for your excellent replys. You have confirmed for me what my own study has led me to belive. Yes I belivethis teaching could be very dangerous as it changes both the very Nature of God The Father and Jesus Christ God The Son. Again thank you for taking the time to help me with this. Would it be ok for me to use the information in your respective post to formulate an answer to this question in writting. In THe Love OF Christ, tgc | ||||||

Steve I post this under your note hoping Mark will also pick up on it. Scratch your heads with on this please. All the way through scripture when we find the Bible speaking of the fallen angels or demons the term spirit is used in regards to them an example of such passages would be Lev.19:31, Lev.20:6, Deut.18:11, Mk. 3:11, Lk.4:36. So what is my point with this just follow me for a moment. If we look at Hebrews 1:7 It tells us that God's Angels are ministering Spirits. I also can not find one clearly documented case in the Bible of a demon or fallen angel taking on human form possessing an unsaved person yes but not taking on human form of it's own will. So if angels are spirit and fallen angels must be spirits how can they take on human form when in Luke 24:38 Christ offers this statement as proof of His resurrection" And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do you doubt arise in your heart? Behold My hands and My feet that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and blood as you see I have." So Christ offers as proof of His resurrection the fact that He has flesh and blood and spirits do not. So it would seem to me that if we argue that spirits can make babies with women then are we arguing against the very evidence that Christ offered for His ressurection? All of this said I know ther are Bilical accounts of Angels of God appearing in human form and the only way I can think to reconcille this is the fact that God as Creator and The All Powerful One can grant this to His angels when it is within His plan however Satan not being all powerful and not having the power of creation can not offer this to his fallen angels. Any thoughts please? |

Good Evening, New Creature, I have not been ignoring your questions just have not had a chance to answer them. I thought I had answered the definition of regeneration, however I was probly unclear so let me offer this. Rgeneration : When Christ renews ones heart and gives that person the new nature or if you will the point a which the new man is born. This is entirely the work of Christ and man has no hand in it. Yes I belive an unregenerated man can respond to the Gospel. The Bible teaches that salvations comes by grace through faith. The Bible goes on to tell that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. To elaborate I belive that all of us have a seed of faith planted deep within us. This can be demonstrated by simply looking around us, take for example the athiest, I wuld say he has more faith than me, to belive there is simply nothing beyound man himself and completely eliminate any ideal of any kind of god. Another example would be the evolutionist who can put all his faith in the ideal that something came from nothing. Everything just happened by chance. These two positions take huge amounts of faith to honestly hold to. However when one hears the Gospel and responds to conviction of th Holy Spirit by the seed of Faith that God has planted in them, then the ground work for salvation is in place. So I guess the short answer to that part of your question is that all who come to Christ have an unregenerated heart. I relize that there are many who will disagree with me on this but this is where I stand. I hope I have clearly answered your questions. In The Love Christ, tgc |

Sorry I mistakenly posted this in the notes secection when it should be a question. Sorry about the mistake. I have been pondering on this question for some time. So I thought I would seek the wisdom of many of you on the forum. In Gen. 6:1-6 NKJV) Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they [were] beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he [is] indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore [children] to them. Those [were] the mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Here is the question it seems from what I can learn the classical reading of this is that "the sons of God" refered to in this passage are falling angels and that these fallen angels had relations with human women that bore children from these relationships. Here is my problem first of all Jesus Himself said angels are sexless beings in Matthew 22:29-30. Another problem I have with this is if in fact fallen angels and human women had children where would they fall in the plan of redemption. Would this not be a new ontological creation? Any help with this will be recieved thankfully. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |
